SFP+ transceiver module BlueOptics 740-041612-BO 80000 m Aluminium

The BlueOptics 740-041612-BO SFP+ transceiver module is a 10G optical module designed for long-distance single-mode fiber links. It supports 10G data rates over distances up to 80,000 m and uses an LC duplex connector. The module has a lightweight aluminium housing and an SFP+ interface for direct integration into compatible network equipment. It is intended for use where a compact, MSA-compliant SFP+ transceiver is required for high-speed optical connections.

Advantages

The transceiver provides long-reach optical transmission up to 80 km while maintaining a compact SFP+ form factor and a low weight of 20 g. Constructed with an aluminum housing, the module offers mechanical durability and straightforward hot-pluggable operation with SFP+ ports. Compliance with common MSA standards and use of LC duplex termination enable broad interoperability with single-mode fiber infrastructure. The module supports simultaneous transmit and receive channels on separate fibers via LC duplex connectors.

Suitable for

• Long-distance 10 Gigabit Ethernet links over single-mode fiber
• High-speed connections between switches, routers and storage systems
• Optical uplinks in data centers and metropolitan network rings
• Replacement or upgrade of existing SFP+ ports that accept LC duplex transceivers

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP+
• Supported data rate: 10 Gbps
• Optical reach: up to 80,000 m (80 km) over single-mode fiber
• Connector type: LC duplex
• Transmitter/Receiver wavelength: 1550 nm (TX and RX)
• Housing material and colour: aluminium
• Weight: 0.02 kg

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics SFP+ module into an available SFP+ slot on compatible network equipment until it latches. Connect an LC duplex single-mode fiber patch cable between transceivers or fiber infrastructure ensuring correct TX-to-RX alignment. Power on the equipment and verify link status through the host device; the transceiver supports hot-plug installation. If the host supports digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM), enable the monitoring function to read real-time parameters such as optical power and temperature where available.

Recommendations

Use quality single-mode LC duplex patch cables and proper fiber management (patch panels or protective routing) to achieve the specified reach and signal quality. Verify that the target equipment accepts third-party SFP+ modules and, if needed, confirm DDM/DOM compatibility for monitoring. Avoid mechanical stress on the module or fiber connectors and store spare modules in protective antistatic packaging when not in use.
